The forecasts of cyclone track and intensity have been fairly accurate.

Mandatory mass evacuations have been carried out, which is essential to minimize loss of life in these situations.
| 1clean
|
I heard that they orchestrated the largest people evacuation to a natural disaster in Indian history.

|
I visited the damaged area of the 1999 storm near Bhubaneshwar in the summer of 2012 for an invited symposium and summer school on tropical cyclones [...] sponsored by the Indian government.

|
For this question I don't know the'preparedness' of the Indian gov't to deal with this.

Wikinews interviews Mario J. Lucero and Isabel Ruiz of Heaven Sent Gaming
| 1clean
|
And, together we formed this thing, it's sort of like an entertainment team.
| 1clean
|
We started it basically, because I wanted to - I wanted to work with Isabel on a lot of projects that we had going on together.
| 1clean
|
We were coming with comics, like, left and right, we were coming up with things like Karis, in high school she came up with that one, I came up with an individual story called Thad's World Destruction and, she wanted to illustrate it, and so, that's the way we ended up doing it.
| 1clean
|
Yep, we like to just make our own original content, and, yep, that's what we wanted to do.
| 1clean
|
How did you two meet?
| 1clean
|
We met back in high school.
| 1clean
|
But, before hand in middle school, I kept on hearing about this guy named Mario, and he kept on hearing about me, this girl named Isabel.
| 1clean
|
So before hand I kinda knew about him, but I never met him.
| 1clean
|
There's Jeff [Drake], who is behind the camera.
| 1clean
|
Right now, yeah, he's helping us right now.
| 1clean
|
We're talking about doing some individual web series, video series.
| 1clean
|
Josh Kindig, he's coming on board, he has some ideas for that too, he wants to take over "aywv" and do more gaming news.
| 1clean
|
There's of course Jason, who is our editor and he's the one who writes dD.
| 1clean
|
Well, back in college, back in Collins College, Isabel and I, we had met like she said at Sandia View Academy, and we went off to college together in Arizona;
| 1clean
|
and... (how do I best explain this?)
| 1clean
|
Basically, she came up with a few class projects, and I came up with a few class projects;
| 1clean
|
we started working with a few of our friends, and colleagues and whatnot.
| 1clean
|
Those included Drew Cass, Devin Thurlow, people like that.
| 1clean
|
She had several ideas, and she used to draw a lot in the sketchbook, she used to have this thick sketchbook that she used to carry around with her everywhere, where she'd draw these different characters and whatnot;
| 1clean
|
We just want to be able to bring, like she said, bring light into the entertainment and into the media industry, specifically is what we do.

Martha greatly enjoyed our stay in Mallorca at the villa of our friend Vane Ivanovic.
| 1clean
|
Vane himself presented me with five hundred pages of his memoirs when I arrived and, between sleeping and talking, I cut and edited the work: I am on holiday the inveterate and proverbial busman.
| 1clean
|
I wrote only about 2000 words on my novel, but I've finished now five chapters.
| 1clean
|
At Vane's villa I met the Prince of Spain, Alphonso, who is the son of King Alphonso's deaf and mute son (the second one).
| 1clean
|
I thought that in Mallorca I had at least escaped my duties as Regent, but Alphonso asked me about bilingual education for Puerto Ricans and beraded the Americans for suppressing their "fourteen million Latins."
| 1clean
|
He told me that Dean Acheson told him that Harry Truman denied Spain Marshall Plan aid because Truman was a Protestant.
| 1clean
|
When I argued that a lot ofAmerican felt deeply about the Spanish Civil War, and that the Marshall Plan was devised to help countries ravaged by the war, whereas Spain did not fight, he replied that this was a superficial answer.

I don't know what to make of it -- the idea that it shows the last days of Rome doesn't quite strike me as right.

We miss you, Hannah, but we know that you must be getting some real rest.
| 1clean
|
Is there anything you need?

I've seen the doctor twice since I've been back, and he's convinced that I just missed an "episode," which means that I suffered what is always called, rather badly I think, a "coronary insufficiency."
| 1clean
|
I feel quite well now and I am watching myself.
| 1clean

I lost twelve pounds.

I've promised Dr. Steiner that I will not travel at all, andon humid days I stay at home and work and read.

I'm rereading Johnson's Lives of The Poets, a splendid work that proves that the best criticism is based on sensibility to art and prejudice to behavior.

Mary is working away on her novel.
| 1clean
|
I've been in touch with her briefly -- of course I saw her when she arrived in New York -- about reissuing Stones of Florence.
| 1clean
|
I am publishing the Chiaramonte book in the Spring.
| 1clean
|
Mary has provided a preface.

I look forward to going over manuscript with you when you return.

I hope all is well in the Office of Undergraduate Education, and thank you for scheduling time to meet with me regarding the Penn State Wiki proposal.
| 1clean
|
The overall proposal paints broad strokes in defining how wiki technology can be useful at Penn State; I look forward to productive conversation with your office focusing on one aspect of the proposal: student-based course descriptions.
| 1clean
|
In three letters submitted to the Office of University Relations and Division of Student Affairs, I defend wiki technology as a means to improve overall University communications.
| 1clean
|
The letters outline faculty and student benefits, editing fundamentals, online legal protections, information quality and reliability, and promotion of free speech in an online setting.
| 1clean
|
While University Relations and Student Affairs object to University-sponsored public wikis on the grounds that it creates a "risk of false information going out to too many people before it can be corrected," in addition to the University having a "certain respect for fact checking and the truth" and "responsibility to maintaining accurate information," 1 I posit that the rational lacks merit in light of individuals being able to judge for themselves what information is trustworthy on a wiki.
| 1clean
|
I acknowledge the University's responsibility to maintain accurate information on official Web pages, however, the University policy entitled "Copyright Information” 2 reads as follows (emphasis added):
| 1clean
|
"Penn State decides against supporting wiki project."
| 1clean
|
The information presented on Penn State's Web site comes from a variety of sources, including not only official Penn State departments and colleges, but also unofficial sources and individuals.
| 1clean
|
Although every effort is made to present current and accurate information, the University does not author or edit all of the pages presented here and therefore can not assume responsibility for all information.
| 1clean
|
Additionally, higher circulation of a wiki article decreases the likelihood it will contain misinformation, a design advantage not present in other technologies such as newspapers, radio, and most internet sites.
| 1clean
|
As such, I expect the same of other Wikimedia Foundation contributors and also intend for the standard of expectation to carry over into University-hosted wikis.
| 1clean
|
I published video material on the Undergraduate Student Government (U.S.G.) website 3 addressing benefits of wiki technology, and I recorded individual commentary.
| 1clean
|
Student--based class descriptions benefit Penn State two--fold.
| 1clean
|
Penn State currently doesn't offer very comprehensive information on any of its 15,000--plus courses.
| 1clean
|
Penn State still maintains control of each of the courses, so the academic standard is kept just as high as it always has been.
| 1clean
|
I suggest instituting a pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness of wikis in providing student-based course descriptions, with one wiki assigned to each academic unit.
| 1clean
|
I look forward to our discussion on Tuesday, and would be more than willing to elaborate on any of the areas that interest you during or after our meeting.

She died from infection caused by severe eczema after they shunned effective conventional medical treatments for homeopathy, a form of alternative medicine that has been described as pseudoscience.
| 1clean
|
Articles in peer-reviewed academic journals including Social Science & Medicine have characterized homeopathy as a form of quackery.
| 1clean
|
Gloria developed severe eczema at the age of four months and the parents were advised to send the child to a skin specialist.
| 1clean
|
Thomas Sam, a practising homeopath, instead decided to treat his daughter himself.
| 1clean
|
His daughter's condition deteriorated, to the point that the baby spent all her energy battling the infections caused by the constant breaking of the skin, leading to severe malnutrition and, eventually, her death.
| 1clean
|
Gloria also became unable to move her legs.
| 1clean
|
Mr. Tedeschi also told the court that, over the last five months of her life, "Gloria's eczema played a devastating role in her overall health and it is asserted by the Crown that both her parents knew this and discussed it with each other."
| 1clean
|
However, despite their child's severe illness, and her lack of improvement, the Sams continued to shun conventional medical treatment, instead seeking help from other homeopaths and naturopaths.
| 1clean
|
Gloria temporarily improved during the rare times they used conventional treatments, but they soon dropped them in favour of homeopathy, and she consistently worsened.
| 1clean
|
Allegedly, Thomas' sister pleaded with him to send Gloria to a conventional medical doctor, but he replied "I am not able to do that".
| 1clean
|
By this time, "her skin was weeping, her body malnourished and her corneas melting", according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
| 1clean
|
Speaking in the parents' defense, Tom Molomby, SC, said that, as the parents came from India, where homeopathy is in common use, they should be declared not guilty due to cultural differences.
| 1clean
|
Typical treatments take the dilutions, with ritualised shaking between each step of the dilution, past the level where any molecules of the original substance are likely to remain; for homeopathic treatments to work, basic well-understood concepts in chemistry and physics would have to be wrong.
| 1clean
|
There is no evidence that homeopathy is more effective than placebo for any condition.

Almost half of all Australian primary school children are mild to moderately iodine deficient, researchers say.
| 1clean
|
A new study documenting iodine nutritional status in Australian school children has revealed many are not getting enough iodine - which can lead to mental and growth retardation.
| 1clean
|
The report's authors say iodine deficiency is "the sleeper health issue in Australia", and potentially a very serious one.
| 1clean
|
The results of the Australian National Iodine Nutrition Study published in the Medical Journal of Australia this week, revealed that children in mainland Australia are borderline iodine deficient.
| 1clean
|
The report has prompted calls for all edible salt to be iodised.
| 1clean
|
They say adding the mineral to salt is the simplest and most effective method of preventing iodine deficiency disorders.
| 1clean
|
The authors say the results confirm the existence of inadequate iodine intake in the Australian population.
| 1clean
|
They call for "urgent implementation of mandatory iodisation of all edible salt in Australia."
| 1clean
|
Most iodine in food comes from seafood, milk and iodised salt.
| 1clean
|
Professor Cres Eastman, Director of the National Iodine Nutrition study, and Chairman of the Australian Centre for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders, says it is crucial that children and pregnant women in particular have an adequate intake of iodine.
| 1clean
|
Professor Eastman says manufacturers could easily remedy the situation by using iodised salt in their products in line with the United States and most European countries.
| 1clean
|
"I suspect they won't do that on a voluntary basis, we've tried so far and haven't succeeded, so we've convinced the Food Standards of Australia and New Zealand | that all salt should be iodised," he said.
| 1clean
|
The report says the decline in iodine intake appears to be due to changes in the dairy industry, where chlorine-containing sanitisers have replaced iodine-containing sanitisers.
| 1clean
|
Iodine released from these chemicals into milk has been the major source of dietary iodine in Australia for at least four decades, but is now declining.
| 1clean
|
Another contributory factor has been the decreasing consumption of iodised salt used in foods.
| 1clean
|
The report states that few if any food manufacturers use iodised salt in the preparation and manufacture of foods.
| 1clean
|
Professor Eastman says iodine is added to only 10 per cent of Australian salt in contravention of a World Health Organisation recommendation that all salt be iodised.
| 1clean
|
He says authorities are reacting slowly to his urgent calls for mandatory iodised salt.
| 1clean
|
So if we go to the pregnant woman, she doesn't get enough iodine, she won't make enough thyroid hormone, and the foetus won't get the amount of thyroid hormone it needs for adequate and proper development of the brain, so you'll then see consequences being loss of IQ, learning difficulties, hearing difficulties and other neurological problems," Professor Eastman said.
| 1clean
|
More than two billion people around the world live in areas prone to iodine deficiency, and yet the problem is easily fixed.
| 1clean
|
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that every country should iodise all edible salt.
| 1clean
|
Professor Eastman said he is alarmed by what they found.
